2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Ground cumin
1 teaspoon Ground coriander
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
0.5 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

3 tablespoons Tahini
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
1 small clove Garlic (minced)
3 tablespoons Water (to thin tahini)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
